Pros

Most of the employees are amazing to work with. Almost all the leads are incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful.

Cons

Management is absolutely terrible. Many managers are selected solely on how much time they spend with upper management and leadership. Many times managers don't have any idea what their staff is doing.

Pros

Mission driven, smart engineers who understand and believe in the mission. Low cost insurance compared to other primes. Great experienced resources across sectors. Big company with opportunities to transfer into different positions and sectors.

Cons

Only applies to the local site in Northridge. Chaotic, last minute changes. Leadership or leads are running it all to the ground and resisting changes to assimilate into Northrop grumman culture. Inadequate process/procedures, and resistant to positive changes for years has made the site unbearable. Worst employment retention as years go by and HR or leadership at top do not care. Most of the talent has joined other internal sites, other companies, retired due to burn out, stress and workload. Unkept promises, low or no raise and ok bonuses. Mass exit happening every week and supercedes the inexperienced hires being added. Corporate wants to change the site but the leaders and few legacy employees are fighting to preserve their toxic work culture. The very few who should leave are rude, unprofessional, bullies, protected by their leaders, HR doesn't care at the site level. Join other sectors and sites do not come here. It's mostly young inexperienced engineers and few legacy talent left. Learning is expected on the job, expectation can be impossible due to old inadequate policies, overwhelming workload wearing multiple hats.
